Well, I like Evanescence. I generally change my avatars a lot though, and I want to make one of my own, so it might not stay like this for too long.

I picked mine because I love Van Gogh and Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings.I also picked Van Gogh because I indentify with him in a way.I also would have put on a Morrissey avatar if I knew how to.

because its purple :blush:
and there's something calming and hopeful about a sunset...

I picked mine because I feel a lot like Sailor Saturn, I'm hoping worth getting to know, but few people take the trouble to bother. That and I collect lamps like she does.

I chose my avatar because i like trees but also cos i feel like there is this long road ahead of me, stretching out into the distance and its a road i have to take, but that is very daunting and at times scary, at times enlightening and at all times lonely

mine = something nice in the midst of despair
scars are tattoos with better stories
it's hard to answer the question whats wrong, when nothing is 'right'
Not all scars show. Not all wounds heal. Sometimes you cant always see the pain someone feels

I picked this one because I didn't want to go with yet another dark avatar. I wanted to give myself some hope, and colour just cheers me up when I see it.
